4.2 Encoding

The basic function of the module is to compact the CCD data by removing data that falls below a programmable threshold. Clusters of input data, which may represent one or more physical pulses, are passed to an output buffer. Each cluster is followed by a 2-byte cluster header, comprising the bin address and cluster length. Following the last cluster header, a 4-byte channel header is generated. This contains a word count, cluster count and channel ID.
